Revealed: The Top Artists, Songs, Albums, Podcasts, and Audiobooks of 2024

Spotify Wrapped is all about celebrating the fans, artists, authors, podcasters, and creators who made 2024 the record-breaking, culture-making, fandom-shaking year it was. And this year, we’re celebrating this cultural moment that’s driven by the passion of hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

Wrapped has continued to command a global spotlight as artists, genres, and trends break into new spaces like never before. This includes:

Pop stars like Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, and Sabrina Carpenter rocketing to the top of our charts.
Genres like country crossing over like never before in the capable hands of artists such as Beyoncé, Shaboozey, Lana Del Rey, and Post Malone.
Indie acts like Clairo, Mk.gee, and The Marías garnering both critical acclaim and streaming success.
Collaborations between artists (e.g., Billie Eilish and Charli xcx, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, and Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus), creating some of the most-talked-about culture-shifting moments of the year.
The notable success and growth of female artists, specifically on our top albums list, where women hold eight of the spots in the top half of the list.
“Die With A Smile” by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga taking the top spot as the song most frequently shared from Spotify to social platforms; “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” by Billie Eilish coming in at number two, and “Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone, “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims, and “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan rounding out the top five. (See below for the full Top 10 list.)

In the world of podcasts, we have seen the growth of incredible fandoms across sports, comedy, and true crime in 2024. In fact, more than half a billion people have listened to a podcast on Spotify since we entered the space in 2019. And with more than 300,000 video podcasts soaring on Spotify in markets where they’re available, we saw fans enjoy the diversified way they consume content more than ever this year.

It’s also been a year since we launched Audiobooks in Premium (now available in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg), and we’ve seen both new releases and back-catalog titles from notable authors garner new audiences across every genre on Spotify. To mark this big milestone, we’re thrilled to release our Global Top Audiobooks of the Year list for the first time ever, led by 2024’s buzziest author, Sarah J. Maas, and her A Court of Thorns and Roses series.

But there’s so much more that happened over the course of the year. Keep reading to discover the artists, songs, albums, and podcasts that topped our lists in 2024, and find out how they compare to your personalized Wrapped experience.
